Gritz the Populist Willis A. Carto was a founding member of the Populist Party National Executive Committee. In the book _Profiles in Populism_ [Flag Press, 1982] Carto wrote: "Populism is the only social, economic, and political system which withstands the destructive and degenerative effects of modern, industrial society on family, nation, race, and culture... A stable society develops and thrives when populist principles are applied because the primacy of the nation, culture, family, people, and race in public policy is ensured; to the survival and growth of all of these, all other considerations are subordinate... But just as there are hereditary differences in intelligence and ability among children in any classroom, so are there differences between related larger groups, such as races, or ethnic groups within a racial whole. Carto's Populism rejects "integration" in favor of "racial integrity." Gritz writes a column called _The Colonel's Corner_ for his _Center for Action_ newsletter. The November 1992 issue of the Christian Patriots Association's _Patriot Review_ newsletter reprinted one of Gritz's columns. In it, Gritz writes about his relationship with Willis Carto and the Liberty Lobby's Populist Action Committee: I was asked to allow my name to be placed on the list of policy board members of Carto's Populist Action Committee. I saw nothing wrong in this, but I must tell you I have never received the first communication from them. In fact, Gritz was listed as a member of the Populist Action Committee (PAC) in several issues of Carto's (Liberty Lobby) _Spotlight_ newspaper, prior to his claim of not having received any communication from the PAC. The PAC was launched in 1991 by the Liberty Lobby. The featured speaker at the kick-off meeting was "English populist" John Tyndall of the British National Party. [_The Spotlight_ June 3, 1991, page 1] The founding national chairman of the PAC, Robert Weems, was a Mississippi KKK leader [_Blood in the Face_ by James Ridgeway, Thunder's Mouth Press, 1990, page 131] Tyndall is a British fascist who has been quoted as saying "The Jew is like a maggot feeding on a body in an advanced state of decay." [_Beyond the Pale: The Christian Political Fringe_ by Derrick Knight, Caraf Publications, Lancashire, 1982, page 47]
